A disadvantage for some users of TiddlyWiki’s static site generation capabilities is the requirement to use Node.js. I’m therefore pleased to announce an update to the JSZip plugin that makes it practical to render medium sized static sites in the browser, without needing to use Node.js.
https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/commit/6a0ff7db1807f45b73061ced82f5a85f1a529bbf <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/commit/6a0ff7db1807f45b73061ced82f5a85f1a529bbf> The updated plugin adds a handful of messages that can be used in the browser to: * create a blank ZIP file as a tiddler of type "application/zip” * add text files to a ZIP tiddler * download a ZIP tiddler as a .zip file To try it out, visit the prerelease and review the docs: https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/#%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Ftiddlywiki%2Fjszip <https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/#$:/plugins/tiddlywiki/jszip> The complete code to save a static site looks like this: \define actions-render-static-site() <$action-sendmessage $message="tm-zip-create" $param="$:/temp/_ZipTiddler"/> <$list filter="[all[tiddlers]!is[system]limit[100]]"> <$action-sendmessage $message="tm-zip-render-file" $param="$:/temp/_ZipTiddler" filename={{{ [<currentTiddler>encodeuricomponent[]addsuffix[.html]] }}} tiddler=<<currentTiddler>> template="$:/core/templates/static.tiddler.html"/> </$list> <$action-sendmessage $message="tm-zip-render-file" $param="$:/temp/_ZipTiddler" filename="static.css" template="$:/core/templates/static.template.css"/> <$action-sendmessage $message="tm-zip-download" $param="$:/temp/_ZipTiddler" filename="myzip.zip"/> \end <$button actions=<<actions-render-static-site>>> Render site </$button> Performance is a bit sluggish with large zip files (>2MB on my desktop machine) but otherwise it seems to work well. I’ve got an idea for improving performance that I’ll work on if I have time. Questions and comments welcome.
